Activate Business School are building on their relationship with Grant Thornton, with the announcement of a series of briefing sessions designed to provide information to potential applicants about their Leadership and Management apprenticeships.
Aimed at aspiring team leaders or experienced managers looking to improve their skillset, the Level 3 Team Leader or Level 5 Operations / Departmental apprenticeship programmes are designed to equip future and current team leaders with the necessary management skills to both progress their own career and lead effective, productive teams.
Over 1,000 learners from across 70 different organisations have enrolled on the programmes since the launch in 2018.
For anyone interested in the programmes, it is now possible to sign up for an informal briefing session to learn more about what’s involved. Included in the briefing session will be:
- Introduction to the qualifications; including key content and duration
- Which qualification is right for you?
- Opportunities and progression routes
- Application and onboarding process
- Inhouse or Open Course
The first session will take place on Tuesday 19 September at 11am and places can be booked by registering here: Leadership and Management Apprenticeships Briefing | Grant Thornton UK LLP
Sessions will run regularly throughout the rest of the year. Next sessions:
Thursday 20 March 2025: 10:00 – 11:00am
Wednesday 9 April 2025 : 11:00am – 12:00pm
Tuesday 6 May 2025: 10:00 – 11:00am
Jayne Atkinson, Activate Business Schools Manager, said: Leadership and Management Apprenticeships are a cost-effective way for businesses to invest in the learning and development of their teams. Larger employers can utilise their Apprenticeship Levy to fully fund development whilst smaller employers can access a 95% funding contribution towards the cost from the government.
